battles are generally ridiculously easy (as previously stated), the diplomacy is about as broken as MTW; Multiplayer is a mess; the end game is boring and in complete juxtaposition to the time period both archers and cavalry are better than heavy infanty. Still the graphics are brilliant, the campaign map is 10 better than MTW; there are some really nice little details and touches and overall i think it may be one of my favourite games ever.
